Re: I'll say 38
Typically known as the ugliest model.
Well, when one compares it to '33, '34, '35, '36, '37 . . .no doubt!
I bought a '38 half-ton (out of the) barn find in '68. Wisconsin, with the original 'Ford' bald spare! Got it home, great low-mileage 45- 50,000 mi flathead.
Enjoyed it, but upon purchase, whoa! mechanical brakes cables in enclosed wound-steel-wire housings, rusted tight 'stem to stern'.
Remedy: (Vice Grips gripping each cable out of one end, and hammer-tapping the housing on an anvil) the housing and cable rusted as one piece altogether. What a way to spend the day. Saturday.
